Interesting exercise to build a scalable Mastodon server using Rama, a (Clojure) platform for creating backends. Not a big fan of the '100x' narrative. The Hacker News responses are worth looking at as well.

@avandeursen Those HN discussions are excellent! Many of them point to the problem of comparing it to modern Twitter, which has some excuses for its code size. I would point out what may be outside many developers awareness: the fact that we are talking about it, and that there is also a case to be made in defense (whether that case prevails or not), means that the title is a success, in the "click-bait" sense. It leading to such great discussions is extremely valuable. I also love the comment that points out that re-investigating the common architecture is valuable.
